Summary: Some important recent theorizing linked to the material, ontological, and affective turns is shaped by dualism, even where it questions the latter. Caroline Braunmühl also shows that there are dualistic patterns in significant contributions to queer theory as well as Foucauldian diagnoses of the present. From a perspective sympathetic to the critical efforts made by poststructuralist and related theorists, she analyzes writings by Sara Ahmed, Karen Barad, Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri, Michel Foucault, and others. The book suggests specific alternatives to dualistic as well as identitarian ways of framing conceptual pairs such as matter/mind, affect/discourse and negativity/affirmationPPN: PPN: 1916211720Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-94-OAB
